The power of three cylinders, 12 valves, and 998cc's is right at your fingertips. Yamaha's YXZ1000R SS provides the most direct connection between driver and machine by utilizing high-tech paddle shifters located adjacent to the steering wheel on the centre console. The result is a dynamic combination of performance and ease of use for nearly any type of riding situation or condition.
